This, man, not knowings whether he . was white or black, as soon as he met Mr. , Burch demanded his money. Mr.: Bjirch told him he hadn't any, he informed Mr. Burch. that he was a liar; that he had seen him draw it out of the bank: At the' pointer a pistol,' the robber got the money, .and then told Mr. Burch to drive on. which he proceeded to do? and in departing left behindiiim his. hard -earned' dol lars in the hands of the highway man."

They were at the University of North Carolina' last summer, v and their work was , of such high order that they have been recalled for four performances this year. Having a and one at North Carolina, College for Women, they agreed 10 stop in Oxford for one performance. - Few,, indeed, are the towns, of this size, who have the privilege of seeing such high class productions. The play to be presented here is Candida, by George ' Bernard Shaw, the greatest English dramatist. Shaw's works need no boosting.
